BASIC NETWORKING COMMANDS

Aim:
To study the basic networking commands
Ping
ping sends an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packet to the specified host. If the host responds,
we get an ICMP packet back. We can ping an IP address to see if a machine is alive. If there is
no response, we know something is wrong.
ping, a very useful day-to-day command. It provides a very quick way to see if a machine
is up and connected to the network. The basic syntax is:
Example:
Z:\> ping cse
pathping
Provides information about network latency and network loss at intermediate hops
between a source and destination. pathping sends multiple Echo Request messages to each router
between a source and destination over a period of time and then computes results based on the
packets returned from each router.
Example:
Z:\>pathping www.yahoo.com
Trace complete
nslookup
The nslookup command can be used in Windows and Unix to find various details relating
to the Domain Name System (DNS) like IP addresses of a particular computer.nslookup comes
with a number of subcommands to help us to get more information from the specific dns servers.
Example:
server NAME (where NAME is the name or ip address of the dns server we wish to
query). It is not always possible to query a specific dns server as often dns queries are
blocked to prevent denial of service attacks.
Using subcommands:
Z:\>nslookup 204.228.150.3
Server: eec.ac.in
Address: 10.1.1.2
Name:

www.computerhope.com

Address: 204.228.150.3
The first two lines are information about the server delivering the answer to the nslookup
requested by the user. The next two lines tell the user the name and IP address of the machine
being looked up.
arp
When we need an Ethernet (MAC) address we can use arp (address resolution protocol).In
other words it shows the physical address of a host.

Z:\>arp -a
Interface: 10.2.1.205 --- 0x10003

netstat
The netstat command is used to display the TCP/IP network protocol statistics and
information (Shows network status).The netstat command symbolically displays the contents of
various network-related data structures for active connections.
The default display for active sockets shows the following items:
Local and remote addresses
Send and receive queue sizes (in bytes)
Protocol
Internal state of the protocol
Example:
Z:\>netstat

ipconfig
ipconfig (internet protocol configuration) is a DOS utility which can be used from MSDOS and a MS-DOS shell to display the network settings currently assigned and given by a

network. This command can be utilized to verify a network connection as well as to verify your
network settings.

Example:
Z:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix : eec.ac.in
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.2.1.205
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.4
hostname
Tells the user the host name of the computer they are logged into. Note: may be called host.
Example:
Z:\>hostname
EEC0205
dig(Try using Linux)
The "domain information groper" tool. More advanced then host... If you give a
hostname as an argument to output information about that host, including it's IP address,
hostname and various other information.To look up information about www.yahoo.com:
Example:
[vijay@linux ~]$ dig www.yahoo.com

tracert
traceroute will show the route of a packet. It attempts to list the series of hosts through
which your packets travel on their way to a given destination.
Example:
Z:\>tracert
Usage: tracert [-d] [-h maximum_hops] [-j host-list] [-w timeout] target_name
Options:
-d

Do not resolve addresses to hostnames.

-h maximum_hops Maximum number of hops to search for target.

Find locations of files/directories quickly across entire filesystem
Most common use: find / -name appname -type d -xdev
ps
Lists all existing processes on the server
Most common uses: ps and also ps -A |more
top
Displays many system statistics and details regarding active processes
Most common use: top
traceroute
Traces the existing network routing for a remote or local server
Most common use: traceroute hostname
(replace hostname with the name of your server such as reallylinux.com)
w
An extension of the who command that displays details of all users currently on the
server
Most common uses: w
who
Tool used to monitor who is on the system and many other server related
characteristics
Most common uses: who and also who -q and also who -b
The plain command just lists the names of users currently on the server. Using the -q option
allows you to quickly view just the total number of users on the system. Using the -b option
reminds you how long it has been since you rebooted that stable Linux server! One of my
servers had a -b of almost three years! Yes, that's really Linux!

INTRODUCTION TO SOCKET PROGRAMMING

Aim:
To study about the basics of Socket in Network Programming
Network Programming
Network programming involves writing programs that communicate with other programs
across a computer N/W. One program is normally called the client, and the other the server.
Common examples in the TCP/IP are web clients (browsers) & Web Servers, FTP clients & server
and Telnet clients & servers.
To facilitate communication between unrelated processes, and to standardize network
programming, an API is needed. There are two such APIs:
1. Sockets, sometimes called Berkeley Sockets
2. XTI (X/open transport interface)
Socket
In TCP/IP, an addressable point that consists of an IP address and a TCP or UDP port
member that provides application with access to TCP/IP protocol is called Socket.
A socket is an abstraction that represents an endpoint of communication. The operations
that can be performed on a socket include control operations (such as associating a port number
with the socket, initiating or accepting a connection on the socket, or destroying the socket), data
transfer operations (such as writing data through the socket to some other application, or reading
data from some other application through the socket) and status operations (such as finding the IP
address associated with the socket). The complete set of operations that can be performed on a
socket constitutes the Sockets API (Application Programming Interface).
Structures
Structures are used in socket programming to hold information about the address. The
generic socket address structure is defined below:
struct sockaddr
{
unsigned short sa_family;
/* address family */
char sa_data[14];
/* 14 bytes of protocol address*/
};
IPv4 Socket Address Structure
This structure is also called as Internet socket address structure. It is defined by
including the <netinet/in.h> header.
struct in_addr {
in_addr_t
s_addr;
/* 32-bit IPv4 address, network byte ordered */
};
struct sockaddr_in{
unit_t sin_len;
/* length of structure (16 byte) */
sa_family_t sin_family; /*AF_INET*/
in_port_t
sin_port;
/* 16-bit TCP or UDP port number */
/* network byte ordered */
struct in_addr sin_addr;
/*32-bit Ipv4 address, network byte ordered */
char
sin_zero[8]; /* unused initialize to all zeroes */
};
11

Important functions
1.socket()
This function is called by both TCP server and client process to create an empty socket.
#include <sys/socket.h>
int socket (int family, int type, int protocol);
family: specifies the protocol family and is one of the constants below:
Family
description
AF_INET

IPv4 protocols

AF_INET6

IPv6 protocols

AF_LOCAL

Unix domain protocols

AF_ROUTE

Routing sockets

AF_KEY

Key sockets

type: indicates communications semantics

SOCK_STREAM - stream socket
SOCK_DGRAM - datagram socket
SOCK_RAW - raw socket
protocol: set to 0 except for raw sockets.
Returns on success: socket descriptor (a small nonnegative integer), on error: -1
2. bind()
The bind function assigns a local protocol address to a socket. The protocol address is the
combination of either a 32-bit IPV4 address or a 128-bit IPV6 address, along with a 16-bit TCP or
UDP port number.
#include <sys/socket.h>
int bind(int sockfd, const struct sockaddr *myaddr, socklen_t addrlen);
sockfd: a socket descriptor returned by the socket function.
*myaddr: a pointer to a protocol-specific address.
addrlen: the size of the socket address structure.
Returns on success: 0, on error: -1
3. connect()
The connect function is used by a TCP client to establish a connection with a TCP server.
#include <sys/socket.h>
int connect(int sockfd, const struct sockaddr *servaddr, socklen_t addrlen);
sockfd: a socket descriptor returned by the socket function
*servaddr: a pointer to a socket address structure
addrlen: the size of the socket address structure
Returns on success: 0, on error: -1
12

4. listen()
The listen function is called only by a TCP server to converts an unconnected socket into a
passive socket, indicating that kernel should accept incoming connection requests directed to its
socket.
#include<sys/socket.h>
int listen (int sockfd, int backlog);
sockfd: a socket descriptor returned by the socket function.
backlog: maximum number of connections that the kernel should queue for this socket.
Returns on success: 0, on error: -1
5. accept()
The accept function is called by the TCP server to return the next completed connection from the
front of the completed connection queue.
#include<sys/socket.h>
int accept (int sockfd, struct sockaddr *cliaddr, socklen_t *addrlen);
sockfd: This is the same socket descriptor as in listen call.
*cliaddr: used to return the protocol address of the connected peer process
*addrlen: length of the address.
Returns on success: a new (connected)socket descriptor, on error:-1
6. close()
The close function is used to close a socket and terminate a TCP connection.
#include <unistd.h>
int close (int sockfd);
sockfd: This socket descriptor is no longer useable.
Returns on success: 0, on error: -1
7. read()
The read function is used to receive data from the specified socket.
#include <unistd.h>
ssize_t read(int sockfd, const void * buf, size_t nbytes);
sockfd: a socket descriptor returned by the socket function.
buf: buffer to store the data.
nbytes: size of the buffer
Returns: number of bytes read if OK,0 on EOF, -1 on error
8. write()
The write function is used to send the data through the specified socket.
#include <unistd.h>
ssize_t write(int sockfd, const void * buf, size_t nbytes);
sockfd: a socket descriptor returned by the socket function.
buf: buffer to store the data.
nbytes: size of the buffer
Returns: number of bytes written if OK,0 on EOF, -1 on error
13

9. sendto()
This function is similar to the write function, but additional arguments are required.
#include<sys/socket.h>
ssize_t sendto(int sockfd, const void *buff, size_t nbyte, int flag,
const struct sockaddr *to, socklen_t addrlen);
sockfd socket descriptor
*buff pointer to buffer to write from.
nbytes number of bytes to write.
to socket address structure containing the protocol address of where the data is to be sent.
addrlen size of the socket address structure
Returns: number of bytes read or written if OK,-1 on error
10. recvfrom()
This function is similar to the read function, but additional arguments are required.
#include<sys/socket.h>
ssize_t recvfrom(int sockfd, void *buff, size_t nbyte, int flag,
struct sockaddr *from, socklen_t *addrlen);
sockfd socket descriptor
*buff pointer to buffer to read.
nbytes number of bytes to read.
addrlen size of the socket address structure
from - socket address structure of who sent the datagram.
Returns: number of bytes read or written if OK,-1 on error

Algorithm
Server
1. A TCP socket is created.
2. An Internet socket address structure is filled in with the wildcard address
(INADDR_ANY) and the servers well-known port (PORT).
3. The socket is converted into a listening socket by calling the listen function.

5. When the connection is established, the server reads the domain name from the client
using readn.
6. It then finds out the corresponding address using gethostbyname() and sends it back to the
client using writen.

SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL (SNMP)
Aim
To write a program in C to simulate the Simple Network Management Protocol.
Procedure:
1. Create a function called init_snmp() gets the ball olling.
2. snmp_sess_init() accepts a session structure address, this function will populate the
bulk of the session structure with default values. Once the session structure is primed we
can modify it to meet our needs, such as defining the SNMP version, community name,
and the hostname of agent referred to as the peername.
3. When the session structure is ready for use, we can open the session
with snmp_open() which will return a new session structure as a handle.
25

4. The add_mibdir() and read_mib() functions demonstrated how to add a directory to the
internal MIB path and then read a MIB into the MIB tree.
5. Now that the session is open and the MIBs we'll use are loaded into the tree we can
create and populate the PDU(s) we'll be sending.
6. snmp_pdu_create() will setup the base PDU information based on the supplied type of
PDU (specified in macro form) and return the populated PDU structure.
7.
Now
that
we
have
the
PDU
we
can
use
the read_objid() and snmp_add_null_var() functions to first read the OID from the MIB
and then add that OID as a variable to the variable list used by the PDU.
8. We can repeat this process several times to continue packing our PDU full of OIDs.
9. Once our session is open and our PDU is ready with all the OIDs we want crammed
into the variable list we can actually send the request and await the response. This action is
done in a single step using thesnmp_synch_response() function.
10. The function is passed the open session handle, the PDU to send, and an empty PDU
structure to accept the response which includes the populated values for each OID in the
variable list.
11. At this point you can extract and manipulate the returned data either by utilizing built
in functions such as print_value() or by simply directly accessing the structures. Other
convince functions for value output can be found in the net-snmp/library/mib.h header.
12. Finally, to properly clean up, the PDU(s) should be freed and the sessions closed
using the snmp_free_pdu() and snmp_close() functions.

Result:
Thus the C program to simulate the Simple Network Management Protocol is execute
and the output is verified successfully

If any system (host or router) want to communicate with the other system (host or route)
then it is necesary to check the communication is posible or not? For this, first of al we have to
check for destination system is reachable or not. Due to hardware failure or any other reason it is
posible the system may on network but not reachable. How can we detect that he destination
system is reachable or not?
PING command is useful for checking the reachabilty of the system.

3. Convert the given dotted decimal IP address and subnet mask into the binary form.
4. A subnet mask (or number) is used to determine the number of bits used for the subnet and host
portions of the address.
5. To create subnets, we increase the mask into required octet by enough bits to get subnets.
6. Now print all the subnet addresses.
For eg)
Lets subnet 129.99.0.0 into seven subnets.
129.99.0.0 is a Class B address with a natural mask of 255.255.0.0. To create subnets, we
increase the mask into the third octet by enough bits to get seven subnets. we see that three bits
will give us seven subnets, using an extended mask (subnet mask) of 255.255.224.0, as shown
below.

STUDY OF NS-2 WITH SAMPLE PROGRAMS

AIM:
37

To study the Network Simulator NS2.

NS-2
Ns-2 is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. Ns provides substantial
support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and
satellite) networks.

NS-2 ARCHITECTURE
Downloading/Installing ns&nam
One can build ns either from the various packages (Tcl/Tk, otcl, etc.), or can download an 'all-inone' package. web page: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-build.html
Starting ns
Start ns with the command 'ns <tclscript>', where '<tclscript>' is the name of a Tcl script file
which defines the simulation scenario (i.e. the topology and the events). Just start ns without any
arguments and enter the Tcl commands in the Tcl shell, but that is definitely less comfortable.
Everything else depends on the Tcl script. The script might create some output on stdout, it might
write a trace file or it might start nam to visualize the simulation.
Starting nam
One can either start nam with the command 'nam <nam-file>' where '<nam-file>' is the name of a
nam trace file that was generated by ns, or one can execute it directly out of the Tcl simulation
script for the simulation which you want to visualize.

38

First TCL Script

Now we are going to write a 'template' that you can use for all of the first Tcl scripts. You can
write your Tcl scripts in any text editor like joe or emacs. I suggest that you call this first example
'example1.tcl'.
First of all, you need to create a simulator object. This is done with the command
set ns [new Simulator]
Now we open a file for writing that is going to be used for the nam trace data.
set nf [open out.nam w]
$ns namtrace-all $nf
The first line opens the file 'out.nam' for writing and gives it the file handle 'nf'. In the second line
we tell the simulator object that we created above to write all simulation data that is going to be
relevant for nam into this file.
The next step is to add a 'finish' procedure that closes the trace file and starts nam.
proc finish {} {
global ns nf
$ns flush-trace
close $nf
exec nam out.nam &
39

exit 0
}
You don't really have to understand all of the above code yet. It will get clearer to you once you
see what the code does.
The next line tells the simulator object to execute the 'finish' procedure after 5.0 seconds of
simulation time.
$ns at 5.0 "finish"
You probably understand what this line does just by looking at it. ns provides you with a very
simple way to schedule events with the 'at' command.
The last line finally starts the simulation.
$ns run

b) FLOODING
PROCEDURE
Flooding is a simple routing algorithm in which every incoming packet is sent through
every outgoing link except the one it arrived on.
Flooding is used in bridging and in systems such as Usenet and peer-to-peer file
sharing and as part of some routing protocols, includingOSPF, DVMRP, and those used in ad-hoc
wireless networks.
There are generally two types of flooding available, Uncontrolled Flooding and Controlled
Flooding.
Uncontrolled Flooding is the fatal law of flooding. All nodes have neighbours and route
packets indefinitely. More than two neighbours creates a broadcast storm.
Controlled Flooding has its own two algorithms to make it reliable, SNCF (Sequence
Number Controlled Flooding) and RPF (Reverse Path Flooding). In SNCF, the node attaches its
own address and sequence number to the packet, since every node has a memory of addresses and
sequence numbers. If it receives a packet in memory, it drops it immediately while in RPF, the
node will only send the packet forward. If it is received from the next node, it sends it back to the
sender.
There are several variants of flooding algorithm. Most work roughly as follows:
1. Each node acts as both a transmitter and a receiver.
2. Each node tries to forward every message to every one of its neighbours except the source
node.
This results in every message eventually being delivered to all reachable parts of the
network.Algorithms may need to be more complex than this, since, in some case, precautions have
to be taken to avoid wasted duplicate deliveries and infinite loops, and to allow messages to
eventually expire from the system. A variant of flooding called selective flooding partially
addresses these issues by only sending packets to routers in the same direction. In selective
43

flooding the routers don't send every incoming packet on every line but only on those lines which
are going approximately in the right direction.

AWK is a language for processing files of text. A file is treated as a sequence of records, and
by default each line is a record. Each line is broken up into a sequence of fields, so we can think

addresses, I/Ofunctions, Unix system calls.
2. Declare variables for Socket ID,Portnumber,Socket addresses, buffer,etc.
3. Create Socket for server.
4. Bind socket with addresses.
5. Specify number of allowed connections.
6. Wait for connection.
7. Accept connection (If any).
8. Take the binary input file.
9. Perform a bit stuffing by replacing every sixth bit by 0, if it is 1 , else check the next sixth bit and repeat
the process
10. Repeat the steps 8and 9 until the socket is closed.
11. Retrieve information from Connected Socket and display it.
12. Send information to Connected Socket.
13. Close Connected socket.
Client
1. Include necessary header files to support functions for Socket definitions, Socket types, Internet
addresses, I/O functions, Unix system calls.
2. Declare variables for Socket ID, Portnumber, Socket addresses, Character buffer, etc.
3. Create Socket for Client.
4. Connect client socket to the server socket addresses.
5. Enter the source file name for which the bit stuffing is performed.
6. Repeat the steps 8and 9 until the socket is closed.

SIMULATION OF ROUTING PROTOCOL BGP

Aim

To simulate the implementation of the routing protocol BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)
Objective
Many nodes are obtained to check which node has the shortest path to source node . The
measures compared are cost of the node matrix and the minimum distance.
How it is being achieved?
Read n number of nodes and the cost for the node matrix is found. Make one
node as source node.Compute the minimum distance of each node with the source node. Then
the node with shortest path to source node is printed as result.
Syntax & keywords
To get number of nodes
printf("\n Enter the number of nodes:");
scanf("%d",&n);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
{
printf("\n Enter the distance between the host %d - %d:",i+1,j+1);
scanf("%d",&a[i][j]);
}
}

EXPECTED OUTPUT AND ITS FORM

This program implements BGP to get host cost matrix and path as input and identifies
the shortest path from source as output .
ALGORITHM
1. Read the no. of nodes n.
2. Read the cost matrix for the path from each node to another node.
3. Initialize SOURCE to 1 and include 1.
4. Compute D of a node which is the distance from source to that corresponding node.
5. Repeat step 6 to step 8 for n-l nodes.
6. Choose the node that has not been included whose distance is minimum and include
the node.
7. For every other node not included compare the distance directly from the source with the
distance to reach the node using the newly included node.
8. Take the minimum value as the new distance.
9. Print all the nodes with shortest path cost from source node.

OUTPUT
Enter the number of nodes: 5
Enter the distance between the host: 10
The output matrix :
10 15 20 25 30

RESULT:
Thus the above program to simulate the Routing Protocols using border gateway
protocol is executed and the output is verified successfully.
